Wig in a Box

This is the tribute album to end them all!

Off Records and the two creators of Hedwig and the Angry Inch rounded up an inspired all-star cast including Yoko Ono with Yo La Tengo, Sleater-Kinney with Fred Schneider, Jonathan Richman, Robyn Hitchcock, Rufus Wainwright, The Breeders and many others, to participate in a Hedwig-themed charity album for the Harvey Milk School in NYC.

Hedwig tells the story of transsexual rocker, an East German immigrant whose sex change operation has been botched and who finds herself living in a trailer park in Kansas. The show, movie and music have been embraced by critics and audiences alike (including a stint on Late Night With David Letterman), quickly becoming something of a cult classic. New Line Cinema produced the movie and brought Hedwig to the big screen where it was eventually nominated for a Golden Globe and won several awards at Sundance Film Festival. Wig in a Box marks the first authorized post-Hedwig release; along with the amazing lineup, featuring several once-in-a-lifetime collaborations, a massive critical and fan following will make this record the event of the season.
